Absolute garbage…read more 90% of it is A.I. pictures and footage. The rest is stuff like "they had teacups back then. Here is a teacup that resembles the teacup that might have been on the ship." Literally just ask Grok or Claude or whatever to tell you what the Titanic was like. That's what the people who run this "exhibition" did.

I love love loveddd my early morning solo date here!…read more This location was so perfect - with a parking garage next to the entrance, this place is great to get to and from with no problem. Stepping inside and getting your tickets digitally checked was easy, and the director gave you the option of using their provided headsets or using your own phone and downloading the audio. I myself, wanted to use my own headphones/device at first (covid tingz) - but quickly realized, the audio ran about an hour and a half, and I needed my battery this day. But yes - this exhibition was so fun. So informative. You really feel as if you are back on the boat when you see, AND FEEL the artifacts. Solo date, group, etc., this place is great to go to!

I've seen Kem multiple times, but his Valentine's Day show at MGM was hands down the BEST one yet…read more And honestly? I had zero plans to go. My date was in town for the Hallmark holiday, and we figured we'd just keep it low-key... until we lost money at the poker tables and made a very last-minute decision (literally five minutes before showtime) to grab tickets. Best decision ever. From the first note, the energy was unreal. Leela James brought the house down and Kem sounded incredible. We had an absolute ball in our sweats and tennis shoes. At one point it felt less like a concert and more like the world's best karaoke night because we were singing our hearts out the entire time. One thing I love about MGM is that there truly are no bad seats. Even with last-minute tickets, the view and sound were fantastic. Unexpected, spontaneous, comfy, and unforgettable. The perfect Valentine's night after all.

Attended the Deon Cole performance here and this site is capable of hosting large crowds. Pay…read moreattention to the seating so that your selection aligns with your viewing preferences. There are large display screens to the left and right of the stage. It helps see the artist but I found myself watching the screen more than the stage. One thing that continues to irk me is when people show up late and try to scoot past you to get to their seat. Depending on the build of the person, half of the row may end up standing up to allow them passage. While this can't be helped as things do happen that may contribute to tardiness, the distance from the seat in front of you and on each side is rather close. If you need to stretch periodically, you'll get that chance when someone has to go to the bathroom or returns spilling their drinks as they try to scoot by you. I had no issues bringing my purse in. Some venues do have size restrictions on handbags for security reasons. Entering was easy, the ushers worked well together to prevent bottlenecks for those trying to find their seats. Announcements are made for no heckling, phone use for photos or videos. Violations can result in warnings and/or removal. Upon conclusion of the performance, it wasn't terrible exiting. Things were orderly and the artists do have an area for autographs, photos and selling of memorabilia. Located within the MGM at National Harbor, parking was fee and there are a host of restaurants to choose from if you want to dine before or after the show. Definitely enjoyed myself and look forward to returning for other entertainment options.

The Torpedo Factory is still wonderful as it has been, right on Alexandria's waterfront. We love…read morethe local artist's ceramic workshop. There are 3 levels, and on the ground floor there are models of old torpedos. The rebirth and repurposing of an old factory is very meaningful, as it is now a haven for local artists. However, there was forever a long line to the ladies' room. They should consider renovating the restrooms or expanding them. I understand with old architecture there may be constraints, but given how popular this place is, it is fair to ask.

I was really impressed with the crowd, the employees, and the place appears pretty clean (bathroom ran out of soap, no bueno). Everything was overpriced, but it is what it is! They had a little something for everyone, but it was more of a grown and sexy vibe. I don't know what is going on with our city, but apparently all the eye candy is in MD/DC/Nova! Sorry fellas, just saying ! The band was pretty good, it was good fun for everyone! Everyone was friendly and cordial. Take a ride out, shake a tail feather or 2, bring a blanket, chair and plenty of cold water, go Get Your Life! @MGM

No need to reserve tickets ahead of time. Just walk in. I had the museum to myself. 2) Exhibits: The museum has two small rooms with exhibits. The first one is mainly reading with some artifacts about the history of Black Alexandria. There's a small area for kids with a scavenger hunt and a craft. The second room talks about Alexandria's response to the murder of George Floyd. The museum has a small bookstore worth exploring, especially if you like reading books. 3) Space: It's housed in a library for Black residents during segregation that was built after a sit-in at another library. 4) Neighborhood: There are many other historical sites nearby as well as cafes and restaurants. 5) Parking: There's no parking lot, but free street parking is usually easy to find nearby.
